3♠ is missing from your options, and so is "so what's for dinner?"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

I need more experience passing this, but I am sure it will be mainstream on the forums

Had a similar auction recently, I opened 3♦ and partner passed the takeout double with 54 in the majors, AQ of diamonds, and an 18-count. Opponent bid 4♦ with 3-3 in the majors and a balancedish 10 count, so he didn't have to guess which major to choose. Partner doubled 4♠ which went for 1400 :) That was obviously worse than 3♦ doubled plus 1.
